In this project we learned about the issues and violence in the Middle East. We researched about Lebanese culture and traditions. We created placemats for a local Lebanese restaurant and exhibited our final products their. For the placemats, we chose a landscape or landmark we found interesting and painted it with watercolor. We also created articles focusing on one part of Lebanese culture you personally take interest in. This project led me to be very interested in Middle Eastern culture and I found it very interesting despite the heavy nature of the subject.
